The capacity to associate neutral stimuli with affective value is an important survival strategy
that can be accomplished by cell assemblies obeying Hebbian learning principles. In the …

The late positive potential (LPP) is a reliable electrophysiological index of emotional
perception in humans. Despite years of research, the brain structures that contribute to the …

Electrophysiological studies in rodents allow recording neural activity during threats with
high temporal and spatial precision. Although fMRI has helped translate insights about the …

The human brain's ability to quickly detect dangerous stimuli is crucial in selecting
appropriate responses to possible threats. Trait anxiety has been suggested to moderate …

Social threat detection is important in everyday life. Studies of cortical activity have shown
that event-related potentials (ERPs) of motivated attention are modulated during fear …

Studies of cognitive processes via electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings often analyze
group-level event-related potentials (ERPs) averaged over multiple subjects and trials. This …

The ability to associate neutral stimuli with motivationally relevant outcomes is an important
survival strategy. In this study, we used event‐related potentials (ERP s) to investigate brain …

Emotional scene perception is characterized by enhanced neural activity across broad
regions of visual cortex, the frontoparietal network, and anterior corticolimbic structures. In …

Using electrophysiology and a classic fear conditioning paradigm, this work examined
adaptive visuocortical changes in spatial frequency tuning in a sample of 50 undergraduate …

For humans, it is vitally important to rapidly detect and process threatening signals
regardless of whether stimuli occur at fixation or in the periphery. However, it is unknown …
